Mr. McCabe, FYI: US intel commits crimes and isn't punished. CIA chief Brennan illegally hacked US Senate computers and lied about it. DNI James Clapper lied under oath to Congress-Washington Post, July 31, 2014, "Obama Should Fire John Brennan"...(Obama didn't fire or discipline either Brennan or Clapper for their crimes. CNN recently hired Brennan knowing he was an illegal hacker and liar)

And, you know, when
the facts come out on this, I think a lot of people who are claiming
that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and monitoring and
hacking will be proved wrong."(You can see the video of Brennan’s answer here.)

A statement released by the CIA
on Tuesday acknowledged that agency employees had searched areas of that
computer network that were supposed to be accessible only to committee
investigators. Agency employees were attempting to discover how
congressional aides had obtained a secret CIA internal report on the
interrogation program.

“Some employees acted in a manner
inconsistent with the common understanding reached” between the CIA and
lawmakers in 2009, when the committee investigation was launched,
according to the agency statement, which cited a review by the CIA’s
inspector general. The CIA statement was first reported by McClatchy.

That
committee’s investigation is said to be sharply critical of the CIA,
finding that it exaggerated the effectiveness of harsh interrogation
measuresand repeatedly misled members of Congressand the executive
branch. The findings are expected to be released publicly within weeks.

After
briefing committee leaders, Brennan “apologized to them [Feinstein and Chambliss] for such
actions by CIA officers as described in the [inspector general] report,”
the agency statement said. Brennan also ordered the creation of an
internal personnel board, led by former Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), to
review the agency employees’ conduct and determine “potential
disciplinary measures.”"

And last year, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lied under oath to Congress when he told Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and the Senate
Intelligence Committee that the National Security Agency did not collect
any kind of data on millions of Americans, a claim later disproved by
documents leaked by former NSA employee Edward Snowden. Despite Clapper
receiving criticism from both sides of the aisle, the damage to
Clapper’s and the White House’s credibility on intelligence and civil
liberties issues and, well, the fact that lying to Congress is a crime (though one that’s difficult to prosecute), Obama has not disciplined Clapper in any way.

… I have appointed a person outside of Washington, many years in the
Department of Justice to look at all the allegations that the House
Judiciary Committee members sent to us; and we’re conducting that
investigation. (read more)""

Comment: US political class enabled/partnered with the criminal intelligence "community" and forced us to finance it. Sorry, but US taxpayers don't like being slaves to a criminal mob.
We elected Trump because we viewed him as our only chance to stop the
mob. Mr. McCabe has unwittingly put a spotlight on the problem with his claim that anyone could possibly "taint" the intel community more than it has tainted itself.
